Hotel Continental

A perfectly placed hotel in Bordeaux’s city centre, on one of the Golden Triangle’s smaller streets. Behind the 18th-century townhouse frontage is a modern and light interior. It’s great value – breakfast is included in the room price – and the service is charming.

Location

Perfectly-placed in the city centre, on one of the Golden Triangle’s smaller streets.

Style & character

9/10

Walk into the lobby and you feel at ease at once. Things are being taken care of. Behind the 18th-century town-house frontage, the lines are clean and light, the wood a lovely shade of pale and there are flowers on the reception desk. The place may be budget, but it doesn’t let that get in the way of being extremely pleasant. And – a lovely touch, this – they’ll supply you with a packed lunch for free.

Rooms

8/10

There are 50 of them, all nicely light, bright and practical and, like the lobby, done out in shades of pale wood and other relaxing tones. This is though, a two-star, so don't expect to have much surplus space. 'Standing' rooms are marginally bigger than the ‘Confort’ ones, and probably worth the extra €15 – not least because some have pleasing views over the city.

No bar or restaurant, but there’s no lack of eating possibilities within two minutes of the hotel’s front door. And breakfast is included in the price of the room.
